heat cycles

spring and winter usually within a week before or after the last cycle . most all the gyps I have owned have come in in December or January ,my coon hound gyps would all ways come in right in the middle of hide season and would have to be put up . that's why I all ways keep a couple good males to hunt in winter . I'm watching all my gyps like an old male dog now to make sure they get put up when they come in , I've had a stray walker male running around and can't catch him . but he sure sounds purty running and treeing in the bottom behind the house .
